Wish you could use that Apple TV box next to your TV for web browsing, reading RSS feeds, or even just playing DivX video? You could do a little software hacking yourself, or if you're worried about mucking things up, you could pay $60 for a USB stick from aTV Flash loaded with software that will do all the dirty work for you.

Here are just a few of the things you'll be able to do with your newly hacked Apple TV:

• Play DivX, XviD, AVi, and WMV files
• Play uncoverted DVD files
• Sync and play videos without iTunes
• Surf the web with a WebKit/Safari-based browser
• Rent HD movies from Jaman
• View weather forecasts
• Read RSS feeds

And best of all, the developers claim the software does not void your Apple TV warranty.
